Semper Fidelis

Always Faithful, the United States Marines was formed on November 9, 1775, in Philadelphia, Pa. The USMC has about 205,000 active duty Marines and about 40,000 reserve Marines. The USMC traces its roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War. Bearwiskers says... God bless the USMC and all the fine men and women who protect the citizens of the United States, the greatest country in the world.
